I am kind of Leary of Craig's list. No?

Zillow, trulia, facebook, craigslist.  You need to screen your applicants well.  I would research screening tenants and define your requirements.

@Victoria Sood I use Cozy, Realtor.com, Craigslist. In regards to the standards for the applicant pool: 1) Background check 2) Credit Score of 700 or higher (Good credit) 3) Income must be 33% of rent or DTI ratio on the credit report Whether I've received a tenant via Craigslist or Realtor.com the outcome is always the same, good quality pool of applicants
